You don't want to do that though do you, you want to hide on websites like this shouting and screaming that everyone is wrong, but you don't want to actually do anything about it.
Hmmm.....
Well a national body is obviously a thing that has crossed our minds, who knows what might happen in the future.
But in the meantime, I sent a document of well over 100 pages to the OFT while they were doing their bit, that was in my own name.
I sent about 50 pages to DfT as part of their OFT consultation, again in a personal capacity.
Not only was I instrumental in setting up this site, and much of the stuff on it, I was also the main author of our 70-page Myth and Reality document.
To promote the site one of the other founders compiled a database of around 1,000 taxi-related email addies, diligently harvested from the internet, and including LAs, LOs, Govt depts and taxi firms and individuals.
To promote Myth and Reality another database was compiled consisting of several hundred additional addies, including MPs and MSPs, indeed anyone of these categories that we could find.
But if you want to call this 'not doing anything about it', then that's your view.
There's maybe a better way than standing around on the streets with placards or blockading the roads - this might be more effective in the short term, but we'll see about the longer term
- mark my words!

- presumably your misinformation above was T&G sourced, for example?
